Apartment was in the center of town which was nice to not have to drive to breakfast or dinner. Lots of space. Back outside stairs took a bit of maneuvering with suitcases. Centrally located to all the Bourbon facilities in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Stivers

Host profile image
We opened our Soap and Candle shop in 2015 after spending several years doing local arts & craft festivals. In 2015 we purchased our brick and mortar store which included the upstairs apartment. Steve is also a Pediatric Registered Nurse and enjoys continuing in that field on occasions.

Why they chose this property

In 2018 the upstairs apartment underwent an extensive restoration to create what we believe is one of the nicest places in Bardstown. Everything was either replaced or beautified and made better. We want you to be comfortable just as you would at home. Bardstown was voted as Rand McNally's Most Beautiful Towns in America in 2015 and when you visit our town you will see why. Come check out what Bardstown has to offer: Distillery Tours; History; Dramas; Night Life; Delicious Food; Great Shopping.... and of course BOURBON!!!

What makes this property unique

We do allow pets that are well behaved. While there is not a green space directly outside the apartment there are plenty of green areas within the city block. We do charge a $20 pet fee so that we can pay our cleaner to do extra cleaning after pets. While most pets are great visitors and we can't tell that they have been there we have had a few instances where we have had to do a lot of extra work to clean up and sanitize. It is your responsibility to clean up after your pet if there are any accidents. And under no circumstances should dogs be allowed on the beds.
